Consider a $10,000,000 1-year quarterly-pay swap with a fixed rate of 4.5% and a floating rate of 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 150 basis points. 90-day LIBOR is currently 3% and the current forward rates for the next four quarters are 3.2%, 3.6%, 3.8%, and 4%. If these rates are actually realized, at the second quarterly settlement date, the fixed-rate payer in the swap will: a. receive a payment of $5,000 b. receive a payment of $5,000 c. receive a payment of $7,500 d. neither make nor receive a payment

A plain vanilla 2-year interest rate swap with annual payments has a notional principal of $1 million. 5 month(s) into the swap, the term structure of interest rates is flat at 4.70%. The first floating-rate payment has already been set to 5.00%. The fixed payments are 5.29%. What is the value of this swap? Please show steps Answer: -8310

A $30,000,000 interest rate swap has a 12-month maturity, and was entered 2 months ago. This means the swap has a remaining life of 10 months. The swap pays interest quarterly, and it stipulates that the fixed rate is 4.5%, while the floating rate is the 3-month LIBOR +1%. Two months ago, when the swap was entered, 3-month LIBOR was 2.9%. The 3-month LIBOR forward rates and continuous time zero-coupon prices are given in a table below. Use the zero coupon prices to discount cash-flows. 3-month LIBOR Forward Rates Term rate 1x4 2.90% 2x5 2.85% 3x6 2.84% 4x7 2.88% 5x8 2.90% 6x9 2.91% 7x10 2.92% 8x11 2.92% 9x12 2.92% Zero-Coupon prices T (month) Price 1 0.9976 2 0.9953 3 0.9929 4 0.9904 5 0.988 6 0.9856 7 0.9831 8 0.9807 9 0.9783 10 0.9761 11 0.9737 12 0.9712 (Important hint: since the swap was entered 2 months ago, and makes quarterly payments, in the remaining 10 months, payments should be expected in 1 month, 4 months, 7 months and 10 months. Discount cash flows accordingly.)…

5. Suppose you have a 2.5-year remaining on an interest rate swap with a notional principal of $10,000, 000 between Company A and Company B. Company A pays fixed rate and Company B pays the float rate. Fixed and float payments are exchanged every year and the last payment was exchanged 6 months ago. The fixed rate is 3.5% per annum, and the floating rate is tied to the annual LIBOR. The previous 1-year LIBOR rate, set 6 months ago, is 2.75%, 6 month LIBOR is 3.25%. the 1.5-year LIBOR is 3.25%, and the 2.5-year LIBOR is 3.50%. Calculate the present value of the fixed and floating legs of the swap, and determine the swap's net present value from Company A's perspective. Assume annual compounding for discounting.

An investor holds the fixed-payer position in a 7.44%/LIBOR swap with $1M notional principal, semi-annual payments, and exactly one-year remaining. What is the value of the existing fixed-payer position, if the swap rate for new one-year swaps with matching notional principal is 3.57%/LIBOR

A borrower and lender negotiate a $38,000,000 interest-only loan at a 6.0 percent interest rate for a term of 15 years. There is a lockout period of 10 years. Should the borrower choose to prepay this loan at any time after the end of the 10th year, a yield maintenance fee (YMF) will be charged. The YMF will be calculated as follows: A treasury security with a maturity equal to the number of months remaining on the loan will be selected, to which a spread of 150 basis points (1.50%) will be added to determine the lender's reinvestment rate. The penalty will be determined as the present value of the difference between the original loan rate and the lender's reinvestment rate. Required: a. How much will the YMF be if the loan is repaid at the end of year 13 if two year treasury rates are 3 percent? If two-year treasury rates are 5.0 percent, what will be the lender's reinvestment rate? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations, Round "YMF" to the nearest dollar amount. Enter…
